Good? Fast? Cheap?
...................................................
One way to determine whether a project is either suitable for production, or attainable within constraints is to use the Good/Fast/Cheap method.
We use this as a litmus test when projects are needed within boundaries.
The process is simple:
1. GOOD
2. FAST
3. CHEAP
Pick any two... But you can't have all three.
Here's how it works:
Good + Fast - Can't be Cheap
Good + Cheap - Can't be Fast
Fast + Cheap - Can't be Good
Protein are not interested in creating work that is not Good. So Fast + Cheap has to be taken out of the equation.
The ideal project is one that has the required budget, with the required time to produce it and delivers the required result.
Time and budget sometimes have some sort of constraint. In these instances, the above method simplifies the necessary requirements right from the outset.
